‘Scene’ in Royal Leamington Spa by Peter Rose on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

Peter has forwarded a number of images he has collected this week of buses in this elegant Warwickshire town.

 

As usual, they are reproduced here with his permission and my thanks.

 

‘Diamond Bus Ltd’. subsidiary ’Diamond Bus West Midlands’ has been on the acquisition trail of late having taken over both ‘Claribel Coaches’ in April 2022 and the bus operations of the well known ‘Johnsons’ of Henley in Arden.

 

Branded as ‘Excelbus’, the 18 buses involved joined ‘Diamond’ towards the end of May/ early June.

 

‘Johnsons’ are retaining their coach operations which includes holidays, excursions, private hire and Schools services.

 

It is expected that the buses in question will be quickly repainted, meanwhile they are operating in their original colours with ‘Diamond’ vinyls added.
